    Summary

    “Do you ever feel like someone is missing? Like, a nebulous person. Someone who doesn’t exist.”

    Impulse leans back on the balls of his feet and takes a bit to respond, probably mulling over Pearl’s question. “No,” he finally says, and Pearl’s heart sinks in her chest. “No, I don’t think so."

    *~*~*

    For the past seven years, Pearl has been longing, grieving, and mourning for a person that doesn't exist. She doesn't know who, or why, or how, but someone incredibly important has disappeared from her life, and she cannot remember their name, or anything else about them. She struggles through life - dropping out of college, feeling lonely even when she's surrounded by friends, and wondering just who exactly is missing from her life. Over time, Pearl learns to stop asking people about the feeling, and elects to push it down and ignore it.

    That is, until she meets a man in a wheelchair named Scar, who has the exact same experience as her.

    Peak of modern au fics…i LOVE the mystery of it and the portrayal of the characters is some of the best i’ve seen among traffic smp fan works by FAR. also a fantastic exploration of grief and how it subtly damages both relationships and day-to-day functioning

    exquisite concept and execution and masterful characterization (ESPECIALLY the tragedy that is gem)….chefs kiss <3 honors the original story and tone of 3rd life with some extra spice and another perspective. gray morality everywhere you look and every perspective is equally interesting

    Summary

    BotW/AoC - As Zelda struggles to unlock her powers, an errant comment from Impa leads Terrako to attempt something drastic: bring forth another Zelda to ask for help. It fails... but has an unexpected consequence. Link, Zelda, and Impa now remember all of their lives, and how they've fought the same battle over and over. And they're over it. They're ending the cycle. Now.

    Will include: Link taking no shit from Revali, Impa greatly relaxing her stance of propriety and tradition, and Zelda remembering how much fun her other lives could have.

    Oh, and the characters of Breath of the Wild/Age of Calamity dealing with a Link, Zelda, and Impa who are officially done following the rules.

    In other words: Chaos!

    Summary

    When you're supposed to be a weapon, how do you find peace?

    In Atlas, a lost silver-eyed girl is found hidden away like a buried treasure, her origins a mystery. She grows up in secrecy, training to be the perfect warrior and believing her destiny is to save the world.

    (The second child of the Rose-Xiao Long family was killed in a tragic Grimm attack, and there was nothing left of the infant to bury.)

    In Vale, a girl made of metal, circuits, and a soul that burns bright wakes up with no memory. As she learns to protect herself and so many others, she watches the stars and wonders what she was built for.

    (Dr. Polendina's lifelong project was destroyed in an unfortunate incident, reduced to a few unidentifiable scraps.)

    Neither Ruby nor Penny know what secrets they hold. But when their lives collide, together they will discover a future of unlimited possibility and love. The world will never be the same.

    A Nuts & Dolts role reversal/switched at birth AU.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    incredible thematically, focus on themes of identity, self worth, autonomy, indoctrination, facism, etc. characterization is excellent and stays both loyal to the original personalities of the characters but acknowledges effects of changes in their upbringing.

    Summary

    It was like electricity sometimes, her aura surrounding her body.

    Blitzing around on clouds of rose petals as she felt herself separate and come together at random points. It was adrenaline. Speed and energy that kept her amped up. Kept her working, thinking, moving a mile a minute.

    At the end of the day, she preferred Yang's.
